Louis POV:

Harry and Zayn dragged me upstairs and into my room. They sat me on the bed and waited a few seconds until Harry started saying, "Now, you have to tell us what has been going on between you two. When you first saw her at the cafe, it was like you could never love another thing on God's green earth, but now, your mind has changed completely. What is going on?" Harry asks. Now that I think about it, I never told them what happened when I went to go talk to her. I just stormed off back to the table and told them that we were leaving. I guess I have to now...


" I honestly don't know what happened that day. She seemed fine when you went to go talk to her. She didn't look mean or anything else,but nice. After you came back and I went to go talk to her, she all of a sudden dropped all of the dishes she was washing and ran right to the bathroom. I didn't want to go after her, because she looked kind of pale and was probably sick. I just waited there until she came back out. When she got back to the sink I asked her if she was okay and then she snapped at me. I was so surprised. I didn't know what I did to make her angry with me! After she yelled at me... I kind of... yelled at her back saying sorry for trying to be nice to her. I guess I was just mad because I was being yelled at by some beautiful stranger for doing absolutely nothing wrong." I ranted.

"So let me get this straight. You guys have been verbally abusing and practically killing each other because of one little mistake?" Zayn asked.

"Yep. That pretty much sums it up" I concluded.

"You both are the most stubborn people I have ever met" Harry started. "I cannot believe that you two were just about to kill each other down stairs a minute ago because of her yelling at you." he finished.

"I didn't mean for it to get this far, but every time I try to be nice, it just doesn't work and we both end up like we were just moments ago. Right now, I'll only apologize if she will." I say.

Harry and Zayn look at each other with the same sly smile and both say, "We think that could be arranged." What do they mean by th- oh.......... NO!


Annabelle's POV:

Liam and Niall took me up into their room and sat me down on the desk chair in front of them. "Okay. What has been going on between you two? It needs to stop before someone really gets hurt!" Liam ordered.

"Yea. You were so nice to Harry when he came up to you in the cafe, but as soon as Louis did the same, you apparently snapped and made him furious. What happened?" Niall asked. Guess now would be a good time to say it...

"After Harry left me, I didn't see Louis come up. I ran to the bathroom before anyone could have talked to me. When I came back out, he was standing there I think waiting for me, but I really hoped he wouldn't talk to me because I was.... in a bad mood and I didn't want to yell at him." I caught myself before saying what I was really mad at. "He asked me if I was alright and yes I snapped at him. I didn't mean to though. I was just in a very bad mood and I took it out on him. I tried to apologize to him after I yelled, but he just stormed back off to your table without giving me a chance to explain. That's now why we are at each others throats when we see or speak to each other. It was all because of some stupid little mistake." I finished.

"Why didn't you just get him alone and tell him what happened. I'm sure he would have understood instead of holding a grudge this entire year." Liam asked.

"I don't know. I didn't mean for it to go this far, but it did. I don't want to fight with him anymore, but every time I try to reason with him, we both end up hating each other a little bit more than before.. if that's even possible. I'll only apologize if he will..." I say. Soon after my rant was done I heard a loud "NO! Don't make me do this" coming from outside the door. I think it was Louis, but I couldn't understand what he was talking about. Soon the door to our room opened and in stepped Zayn, Harry and Louis. Harry then said, " Now we have come to an agreement that you two need to talk to each other without using fists. If it becomes physical, we all will be outside waiting to come in and pull you two apart..again, got it?"Harry ordered. We both reluctantly said "got it" and they left, closing the door behind them. It's now or never...



"I don't want to fight anymore" we both said at the same time. We nervously laughed and I said, "You go first."

"I mean it Annabelle. I don't want to keep doing this to each other anymore. We can't go on like this. I just want to know what happened from when you went to the bathroom to when you came out and spoke to me." he said, concern filling his eyes.

"I actually, this may sound stupid, but, I was having a really bad day and I really hoped that no one was going to speak to me so I wouldn't yell at them. You did, but still didn't deserve what I gave you and I am extremely sorry for that. I was just about to tell you I was sorry and to start over, but you were already out the door. I never got a chance to explain. Then during this year, when we would see each other, I always tried to pluck up the courage to apologize to you,but every time I just got tongue tied and ended saying yet another mean thing to you. Tonight though. What you said to me, really hurt. I tried to keep telling myself that it wasn't true about Harry not wanting to be friends, but it still stung and naturally, I went for you. I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused from this one little mistake and I really hope that we can start over. Are you willing to do that?" I asked hopefully, with tears threatening to spill over.

"Of course I am willing. With what I said to you about Harry not liking you, it was the biggest lie I ever made up. What I actually see when you two are together is love and caring in his eyes. I don't know what came over me, but every single word I said back there was not true and I'm sorry that I even said it. I know you are a great girl, but the same as you, every time we try to say an apology, it just turns out wrong and we never get out the apology that we both deserve. I'm truly sorry Annabelle, and it would be an honor to start over again." he says with a little laugh. "I'm Louis Tomlinson and you are?" he asks with his hand out waiting for me to shake.

"I'm Annabelle Hunt." I say while stretching my arm out to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you love" he says.

"Likewise my friend" I end.

Finally I feel like everything will be okay. Louis and I are now officially friends and I honestly couldn't be happier. Still... there was one question roaming around in my head... What will I say if he asks what happened while I was in the bathroom?...

Louis POV:

It feels great to finally be friends with Annabelle. Now I don't have to admire her from a distance. I can laugh, talk, and have fun with her without any fighting or any regrets. Still... one question in my mind has remained unanswered...

What could have happened while she was in the bathroom to make her bug out like that?
